The Xeros Washing Machine is a new kind of clothes washing technology that cleans laundry using primary nylon polymer beads and very little water. The machine releases nylon polymer beads into a main compartment where laundry is washed. These beads are small and super absorbent which allows them to go through clothing to absorb dirt and stains.

6. L.G Styler
LG unveiled something similar to a waterless machine back at CES in 2009. Dubbed the LG Styler, the
appliance — amusingly referred to by LG as a clothing management cabinet — is the company’s new solution for
making your life more convenient, and your clothes fresh. It looks like a cross between a thin closet and a refrigerator.
You put your clothes inside the cabinet, and it uses steam to blast the bacteria from your clothes that cause foul odor,
as well as smooth out any of the clothes’ wrinkles.

In the year 2010 Xeros Washing Machine is a new kind of clothes washing technology that
cleans laundry using primary nylon polymer beads and very little water. The machine releases nylon
polymer beads into a main compartment where laundry is washed. These beads are small and super
absorbent which allows them to go through clothing to absorb dirt and stains. This technology is
invented by University of Leeds professor Stephen Burkinshaw, who currently has partnership with
Xeros Ltd. in perfecting this technology.

8. Laundry Orb
The concept is by French designer Elie Ahovi(2012), but it's not hard to imagine these types
of cleanerballs in apartments of the future. Anything that will cut down on time spent doing laundry.
The Orbit uses a battery-filled ring to levitate a supercooled superconductive metal laundry basket.
The basket is coated in two layers of shatterproof glass and chilled using liquid nitrogen. The batteries
inside the ring produce a magnetic field, and the basket levitates inside this field as its electrical
resistivity drops.

WORKING
The Washing Machine cleans using nylon polymer beads and
one-tenth of the water used by traditional washing machine.
Instead of cleaning clothes with water, the machine uses reusable
nylon for its cleaning process.
Nylon polymer beads are more absorbent than water, which
allows them to absorb stains right into their core.
The Washing Machine creates a humid condition in the clothes
compartment.
This process causes the polymer chains in the nylon to separate
slightly, making the beads absorbent.
The beads then absorb and lock the stains in their core.

20. DISADVANTAGES
If 100% humidity is not attained polymer
bead doesn’t acts as an absorbent.
Difficult to attain complete a sterile
cloths.
Cannot be adapted to conventional
machines.

22. CONCLUSION
 Water is one of the most vital and precious
natural resources on the planet.
 Every man, woman and child needs water to
live, so conserving water is a critical step in
ensuring the survival of humanity.
 At Xeros, they are dedicated to creating and
promoting technologies that prevent water waste
and help protect the environment.
 So, we started by re-examining the way we
wash our clothes and created a new kind of
commercial laundry system that dramatically
reduces the need for water in the washing cycle.
